Usually, news item text will provide information about the latest and factual events. That way, people can always be updated about events in a place.

News Item Text Structure

Like other types of text, news item text also has a structure that organizes all its elements. The structure of news item text (generic structure of news item text) consists of three parts, namely main event/newsworthy event (core event), background event/elaboration (background of the event), and source (source).

1. Main Event/Newsworthy Event

The first news item text structure is the main event. So, what is meant by a main event/newsworthy event is the core of the news. The main event explains the summary of the news that will be explained.

2. Background Event/Elaboration

Then, what about the background event/elaboration? Background event/elaboration tells in detail about the background of the incident. The details that you must include in this section are the perpetrator, location, time of incident, other parties involved, and background of the incident.

3. Sources

Lastly is sources. When writing news item text, don't forget to include the source, OK? In English, sources are called sources. The sources referred to here can be statements, comments, or opinions from parties related to the incident.
